I wanted to know how to specify create_empty argument for outputcsv command.

it works fine for me when wrting to the csv file, like:
...|outputcsv myfile.csv
however writing the following gives me errors saying "invalid arguement create_empty":
....|outputcsv create_empty=true myfile.csv

Thanks,
Firas

It turns out that create_empty is introduced in version 4.3
I am using an older version.
